Shawn,
1. yes, I used the word "support"; but only for better undestand from
English language.

2. I asked him. He told me that so it is easier.

3. They read the text in the body. I think that's for this that they found
the document in a short way.

4. She found it very long and not very useful. She found "General Resources"
and then "Implementing" scrolling down the window.

He read first all the left nav bar, then the right. In the right he found
more description text about "support materials". It confirms what you said
before about redundancy.

They wanted to know why the bridge in the header.
They like the search box.
They like the font size and type.

>> Number of participants: 3
>>
>> Age: 33, 29, 41
>>
>> Occupation: 1 web content manager, 2 web designer
>>
>> OS and browsers used: Mac OSX and Firefox 1.0
>>
>> Note: I asked participants to find the support document "Developing

>> http://www.w3.org/2004/09/wai-nav/.
>> After tests I asked participants their informal impressions about WAI Web

>>
>> participant #1
>>> From right nav bar: click on "support materials to help understand and

>> bar.
>> Only two clicks ;-))
>>
>> participant #2
>>> From the left nav bar click on "Guidelines & Techniques". "Back" on browser.
>>> From the left nav bar click on "support materials". Click on "general
>> resources". "Back" on browser. Click on "Implementing".
>> Six clicks.
>>
>> participant #3
>> He would like to input the doc name in search box. Then he click on "WAI

>> on browser. Click on "Implementing".
>> Four clicks.
>>
>> Final notes:
>> All the participants have found the document in a short way.
>> All the participants think that the list icon in the left nav bar for "WAI
>> site map", "Help with WAI Site", "Contacting WAI" and "WAI Translations"
>> means a doc page, like a Word .doc or a PDF.
>> 2 participants think that the linked word in the right nav bar (guidelines,
>> supporting materials, and so on), could be bold or underlined.

>> Hope this can help.
